Jon Stewart took a shot at Sean Hannity after his ridiculous hackery the previous night promoting the latest debacle to come out of the Breitbart lackeys, trying to paint President Obama as a "radical." Stewart opened the show promising to show viewers a tape which would reveal the "real" Sean Hannity that he didn't want you to see.

He followed with making a mockery of the latest non-scandal which Hannity is making a fool out of himself pushing with the "newly"... or not so new it turns out "secret" tapes of President Obama that Karoli already wrote about here.

Gotta' love the Clockwork Orange screen shot with what's required to force anyone to actually have to watch Hannity's show followed by Stewart calling out Hannity for hanging around with "an admitted perjurer" (Oliver North), "a convicted Watergate murderer (G. Gordon Liddy), or "a man who stomped another man to death in Cleveland" (Don King), or "whatever this is." Cut to Ted Nugent which C&L covered here -- Ted Nugent curses out Hillary, Obama, Feinstein and issues threats with Machine Guns.

Stewart wrapped things up saying if Hannity really wanted to go after President Obama for his "radical" associations or for "damaging Obama footage" he might consider his hiring of Larry Summers to fix the financial crisis he helped cause, his claim that he'll close Gitmo, or maybe he should look into that foreign Portuguese Water Dog they've got living in the White House. That last one would not be all that much more ridiculous than Hannity's latest attack sadly.

Sean Hannity decided he wasn't done embarrassing himself after his ridiculous pimping of the latest Breitbart fake scandal from his previous show this Thursday evening and who better to bring in and talk about how President Obama supposedly was not "properly vetted" by the media before being elected president, than the un-vetted half-term quitter from Wasilla, Sarah Palin.

I would not recommend playing a drinking game with the word "radical" for this segment of Hannity's interview with Palin, because if you're doing a shot every time it comes out of one of their mouths, you might have to call an ambulance for blood alcohol poisoning by the time it's over.

The racist blow horns were on full alert with this bit of mind-blowingly stupid hackery from Palin about our first black president when Hannity asked her what she thinks if heaven forbid their worst nightmare comes true and he's reelected:

PALIN: Well, what we can glean from this is an understanding of why we are all on the road that we are on and it's based on what went into his thinking, being surrounded by radicals. He is bringing us back Sean to days that... you can harken back to days before the Civil War, when unfortunately too many Americans mistakenly believed that not all men were created equal. And it was the Civil War that began the codification of the truth here in America... yes, we are equal and we all have equal opportunities, not based on the color of your skin.

You have equal opportunities to work hard and to succeed and to embrace the opportunities, god given opportunities to develop resources and work extremely hard and as I say, to succeed.

Now, it has taken all these years for many Americans to understand that that gravity, that mistake, took place before the Civil War and why the Civil War had to really start changing America. What Barack Obama seems to want to do is go back to before those days when we were in different classes based on income, based on color of skin.

Why are we allowing our country to move backwards instead of moving forward with that understanding that as our charters of liberty spell out for us, we are all created equally.

Yeah, that's the ticket. The amount of sheer projection here is just astounding, but that's just how they roll. Whatever our worst traits are, we're going to hurl them right back at the other side and hope the low information voters who watch this tripe are too stupid to know the difference.

And surprise, surprise, the video Hannity and Breitbart's site are pushing, which he mentioned again here of the lecture by Harvard professor Charles Ogletree is doctored. Who would have guessed?
